Jammu, January 23

Udhampur Deputy Commissioner Piyush Singla has bagged the national e-governance award given by the Department of Administrative Reforms and Public Grievances, Government of India, for “Project Sakoon”.

This IT platform was conceptualised and implemented by the DC in Udhampur district. It enabled quick capturing, processing and disbursement of relief payment to sufferers of various natural disasters covered under the State Disaster Response Fund in a time-bound manner. For J&K UT, where natural disasters are frequent, this solution helped the people in need and distress. The project has been selected after rigorous scrutiny at the national level.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
